Lui has worked with the Aspen Institute for several years, speaking at its annual, C-SPAN broadcast symposium on the "State of Race in America". He also led Aspen Institute conversations at the State Department on foreign affairs in U.S. journalism.[22]

Civil Rights organization OCA awarded Lui with its Community Service Award in 2012 and 2013.[32]

Politics

Lui's interest in politics started in the 1970s, when he debated California's controversial Proposition 13 during bus rides to school.[33] That interest turned into a job at 19: campaign manager for San Francisco College Board incumbent Alan Wong. After the election, Lui returned to college and planned to write on policy and the affairs of state, subscribing to The Washington Post when it had to be mailed to the West Coast.[33]

In the 2012 election cycle, Lui hosted APIAVote's Presidential Debate,[34] APA Presidential Inaugural Ball, and APA Congressional Caucus' forum at the Capitol.[35][36] He also conducted Asian Pacific American Institute on Congressional Studies (APAICS) training sessions for elected and appointed officials. Lui also contributes political opinion pieces to publications, including The Seattle Times,[37] San Francisco Chronicle,[38] Politico,[39] and Huffington Post.[16]

In the 1990s, Lui was exposed to a pivotal time in California politics. As a reporter at KALX, he was assigned to Dianne Feinstein's first successful U.S. Senate campaign and the Rodney King verdict and riots.[40]

Later, in the 2000s, Lui moved to Asia to capture a heated moment in regional politics. He was at Channel NewsAsia, an English language network reaching 24 territories.[41] Two Muslim countries in Southeast Asia were undertaking key transformations. Indonesia’s Sukarno family was defeated after rule spanning over half a century. And Malaysia's prime minister, after almost a quarter of a century, handed over power.[33] Lui also covered the South Asian tsunami, and the 2003 SARS and bird flu outbreaks.

During five years at CNN Worldwide, Lui anchored and reported on all CNN English-language networks, including CNN US, CNN International, and HLN. He anchored live breaking stories such as the 2009 Gaza-Israel War, Virginia Tech Massacre, 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War, Mumbai train terrorist bombings, and 2008 Mumbai attacks.[42]

In 2006, Lui's undercover reporting exposed child sex slavery in Indonesia. Later, in a CNN Freedom Project report, he investigated seven-year-olds sold to Ghanaian fishermen as labor slaves.[18] His field reporting explored political and civil rights controversies in the Asian-American community, including the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which led to a system of illegal immigrants called paper sons.[43] He reported on the racially motivated killing of Vincent Chin and its association with the Muslim-American community's post 9/11 challenges.[44] In addition, he reported extensively from the Gulf on the BP oil spill.[45] He received Peabody and Emmy awards for his team reporting at CNN during Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Oil Spill.[46]

Lui joined MSNBC in 2010. Lui anchored Early Today for NBC News for several years. He is currently a breaking news anchor at MSNBC. He is based at NBC News's offices at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. In the past, Lui covered sports for both NBC News and MSNBC morning shows. He also served as news anchor for The Weather Channel’s program with Al Roker, Wake Up With Al when NBC co-owned the weather-focused network.[47]

Some of the events he's anchored breaking coverage of include the Scotland independence vote, 2013 government shutdown, Boston Marathon bombing, Japanese earthquake and tsunami, NATO's attack in Libya, and the Arab Spring and Egypt’s revolution.[48] Lui's field reporting has included covering the Ferguson unrest, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. For the election, his reports ranged from the implications of the Tea Party movement to presidential election night exit poll data.[33][49] In an NBC News investigation, Lui reported on a phenomenon involving high-volume brothels in the U.S. where women are forced to have sex up to a hundred times a day.[18][50][51][52]

Lui is a member of the Asian American Journalists Association and was elected 2013 Member of the Year.[53]

Personal life

Because his grandfather, an undocumented immigrant, filed false paper son documents, Lui's real last name is Wong.[1][2] Lui is the son of a Presbyterian minister.[54] He said in an op-ed he grew up on welfare and almost flunked out of high school. He is an automobile enthusiast, and is an aerodynamics and airplane industry hobbyist.[55] In his speeches, he has said he started "wrenching" when he was 10.[56] He studied in Spain and speaks Spanish conversationally.
